"Your Majesty, everything is as before. The Cao thieves are still trapped in Ziwu Valley, unable to advance even an inch."

Yang Yi replied.

The battle reports from Hanzhong were sent to Adou every day.

Therefore, Adou also knew the situation of Hanzhong's battle very clearly.

When he heard this, he smiled and said: "Soldiers are valuable and quick. This Cao thief has been traveling in Ziwu Valley for nearly a month, but he has only traveled half the distance."

"I have only been driving on the Jinniu Road for a month, and I still feel trapped. How about the thief Cao? Even if this thief can reach Hanzhong, I am afraid he will be exhausted."

"At the mouth of the valley, there is a prime minister who is leading the elite troops and is waiting in full formation. I am afraid that we will have another great victory by then."

After that, he asked again: "Is there any news from Longyou? A few days ago, it was said that Feng Yong led his troops out of Xiaoguan. Is there any news now?"

Yang Yi knew that the prime minister had intended to slow down the emperor's journey, but the emperor turned a deaf ear.

Thinking again of the fact that the Prime Minister had to pay close attention to the affairs of the army every day for the sake of the emperor's safety, it was really tiring.

Now I feel uncomfortable seeing the emperor's attitude towards the war in Hanzhong and being overly concerned about Feng Yong who was far to the north.

"Your Majesty, there is no news yet. I think that Cao Zhen led his army south to Hanzhong in order to invade our territory of the Han Dynasty, so Hanzhong is the place of victory and defeat."

"As for Feng Yong, it is just to contain the Cao thieves in Guanzhong. Success is gratifying, but defeat is no big deal. Your Majesty does not need to be too concerned."

Adou hit a soft nail and was a little embarrassed.

Zhang Xingcai, on the other hand, frowned when he saw Yang Yi looking like this. He didn't like this person very much:

"Although I am a woman, I have also heard the saying that a perfect combination can lead to a surprising victory. Moreover, Lord Feng is very good at leading an army, and his subordinates are all tigers and wolves. The number of soldiers who left the border this time is 20,000."

"These elite soldiers, not to mention being regarded as rare soldiers, even if they are regarded as regular soldiers, it is okay. Why does Yang Changshi look down on the captain's mansion so much?"

Yang Yi just pretended not to hear the dissatisfaction in Zhang Xingcai's words. As the commander of the army, he was the highest among those below the prime minister.

Now that the emperor is not in power, what does he have to fear?

Not to mention the Queen?

I saw him smiling and saying:

"The queen does not know. Although Feng Yong claimed that more than 20,000 people came out of the customs, many of them were Hu cavalry recruited from Longyou. They cannot be regarded as real elite soldiers of the captain's mansion."

"Therefore, in my opinion, if Feng Yong can attract the attention of the Cao thieves in Chang'an and prevent them from going south with all their strength, then it is considered a great victory."

"Furthermore, Anding County is heavily guarded by Cao Cao. If Feng Yong is entangled with Cao Cao in Anding County, then his troops leaving Xiaoguan will only be attacking as a defense to prevent Cao Cao from attacking Xiaoguan."

When it comes to strategy, Zhang Xingcai is by no means a man.

But after all, she is not like Guan Yinping, who has experienced so many wars and can even lead the troops herself.

And Yang Yi originally served as commander of the army, and was very familiar with the affairs of the army.

These words made Zhang Xingcai unable to refute for a while.

Yang Yi didn't dare to be rude and looked up at the queen, so she didn't know that the queen's face had turned gloomy, but Adou noticed it.

The little fat man quickly smoothed things over and said:

"Even if Feng Junhou leads only 10,000 elite soldiers, that is still a lot. I remember that at the beginning, he only led 6,000 people, and he was able to easily capture Long Pass and severely defeat Zhang He."

"How can the Anding thief general compare to Zhang He? There is no need for Feng Junhou to attack the city. As long as he can defeat the Anding thief, Chang'an will pay attention to it."

"In this way, it can be regarded as a great victory as Yang Changshi just said."

Seeing that Yang Yi wanted to speak, Adou quickly said, "Of course, Feng Junhou's side is a surprise force after all. How the final battle will turn out depends on the Prime Minister's side."

Well, after saying this, both sides were taken care of, and Zhang Xingcai and Yang Yi finally stopped entangled in this matter.

Adou took the opportunity to say that the carriage and horses were tired and needed a rest.

Yang Yi then led the emperor's carriage into Nanzheng and arranged the emperor and empress in the palace that had been built long ago.

After all this was arranged, he rushed back to Chenggu along Shuangnan Avenue to report to the prime minister.

"The Prime Minister clearly gave the secret order and asked the Emperor to delay his journey for the time being. But now the Emperor not only refuses to obey, but also intends to speed up his journey to Hanzhong."

Yang Yi looked worried, "Prime Minister, in this case, we must be more cautious to ensure the safety of the emperor. Cao's thieves are powerful, but we have to restrain our hands..."

Zhuge Liang's beard had turned gray. He was hunched over, lying on the desk, squinting, and carefully observing the map of Hanzhong.

Although he has seen this picture countless times and already knows it well, he still has to look at it every day and is unwilling to let go of any detail.

After hearing Yang Yi's words, he slowly spoke after a while:

"The emperor has grown up and will always have his own ideas. Besides, the emperor's personal visit to Hanzhong has boosted military morale. This is a good thing."

"More importantly, if the emperor had no determination to win, how could he ignore the advice and insist on coming to Hanzhong?"

"In the past, Emperor Xiaowu left the fortress twice from Xiaoguan and showed off his troops in Hudi. Today, your majesty finally has the spirit of an emperor of the Han Dynasty."

When Zhuge Liang said this, he raised his head and rubbed his sore eyes. There was actually a look of relief on his old face.

Yang Yi didn't expect the Prime Minister to say these words. She only heard him say:

"The emperor seems not to have thought of this level. I am afraid that the queen may have instigated it..."

Zhuge Liang's eyes flashed and he looked at Yang Yi.

Yang Yidun felt the pressure doubled, and she couldn't say the following words.

"The queen... is also for your majesty's good. If you can win this battle, your majesty's reputation will be truly established. This is a good thing, a good thing..."

When Zhuge Liang said this, he looked a little tired on his face, closed his eyes and leaned back on the chair, "Go and call Wei Yan over."

This is what Yang Yi originally wanted to say, but she didn't expect the Prime Minister to take the initiative to say it himself.

For a moment, he didn't know what the prime minister meant.

After hearing the Prime Minister's instructions, he had no choice but to say "Promise" and then retreated.

After a while, Wei Yan came over.

"Prime Minister."

"When can we find out the situation over there with Cao Cao?"

The continuous heavy rain not only made it difficult for the Wei army to march, but also made it difficult for the Han army to find out the true situation of the Wei army.

Wei Yan had been in Hanzhong for a long time and had carefully studied the Ziwu Valley and was familiar with the terrain.

At this time, he was a little helpless: "Returning to the Prime Minister, the mountain road is difficult to travel, and the rain and fog cover the valley. It is really difficult for the spies to know the real situation."

"Find a way! We must know how many Cao thieves there are!"

Zhuge Liang opened his eyes and said a little irritably.

Cao Zhen claims to have 500,000 troops, but the actual number has not yet been determined.

Without him, it was either raining or steaming mist in Ziwu Valley at this time, and the spies had no way of visually detecting it.

More importantly, Wei Jun's actions really made Zhuge Liang feel a little weird.

Slow, it’s too slow!

Although the journey was difficult, they walked too slowly.

I don’t know why they were dawdling along the way?

"The Emperor has arrived in Hanzhong. If this matter is not investigated clearly, I will feel uneasy."

Zhuge Liang said, taking out something, "I'll lend you this thing for now."

What he took out was a telescope worth half a million that was stolen from Feng Yong.
